H60MTI Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Just curious, is there anywhere else to order Winwing stuff from? I'm assuming that it's coming from China if they're charging $116 for shipping. I really don't want to pay that or wait for what I am assuming will be about a month. Anyone have any insight?

Anyone have any insight? i have run across limited quantities on ebay. could be that someone bought some kits and is reselling. or used. getting tech from china to western counties nowadays is pretty penal.

BuzzU Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) That's why i'm not waiting. I'll just suck it up and pay the $80. I hope I get one that works right. I'm tired of the Warthog HOTAS. Edited July 24, 2023 by BuzzU Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Mustang................A quick question. I'm about to order and torn between getting the Super Hornet HOTAS and the HOTAS Max which is a Hornet throttle but Viper stick. It seems the Viper stick will do everything the Hornet needs but have extra buttons to use. It also has a palm rest. Does the Hornet stick get tiring with no palm rest?

It seems the Viper stick will do everything the Hornet needs but have extra buttons to use. It also has a palm rest. Does the Hornet stick get tiring with no palm rest? It depends. A Hornet stick is supposed to be at a more conventional position so that your arm is laying on your leg basically. I don‘t feel like it‘s tiring. (Just for the records: I have the TM Hornet stick, but since the ergonomics are obviously the same, I thought I am still eligible to comment) @H60MTI I can only speak for Europe, but shipping on available items is usually pretty fast. A week or two maybe from order to your doorstep. vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of figured the Hornet stick would be comfortable mounted in the center. However, I mount the stick and throttle Viper style on both sides. I think i'd be happier with the WW Viper stick and Hornet throttle. As a bonus it's a bit cheaper too. Edited July 25, 2023 by BuzzU Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
